Bye Sweet Carole Launches on Nintendo Switch: Bringing Hand-Drawn Horror Adventure to the Spotlight

Maximum Entertainment, in collaboration with development partners Little Sewing Machine and Meangrip Studios, has officially released Bye Sweet Carole on the Nintendo Switch.

This highly anticipated horror adventure game, directed by Chris Darril—known for his work on the acclaimed Remothered series—pays tribute to the golden age of hand-drawn animation, setting itself apart in today’s indie game landscape. Bye Sweet Carole offers players an immersive experience where classic animation artistry intersects with a chilling, narrative-driven journey.

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, as social tides shift with the rise of the suffrage movement, the story follows Lana Benton, a young girl fiercely dedicated to finding her missing friend, Carole Simmons.

Determined to uncover the truth, Lana’s search leads her through the unsettling Bunny Hall orphanage and into the enigmatic, fantastical kingdom of Corolla.

Here, she is confronted by a host of memorable figures, including the enigmatic Mr.

Kyn, the menacing owl Velenia, and threatening swarms of tar bunnies. According to the developers, Bye Sweet Carole serves as a heartfelt homage to both the timeless charm of classic animated films and the compelling adventure games of the 1990s.

Players will find themselves exploring richly detailed environments and unraveling secrets through a mix of puzzle-solving, stealth, and platforming challenges.

A unique feature allows Lana to transform into a rabbit, adding depth and variety to the gameplay as players navigate the perilous worlds of Bunny Hall and Corolla. Maximum Entertainment has made Bye Sweet Carole available in both physical and digital editions for Nintendo Switch.

The game can be purchased through standard retail outlets, as well as the Nintendo eShop, ensuring broad accessibility for fans and newcomers alike.

The title has generated excitement for its enchanting artistic style and narrative, reinforcing the creative prowess of Chris Darril and his team at Little Sewing Machine and Meangrip Studios. Players eager to immerse themselves in this hand-drawn horror adventure can view the official launch trailer, which highlights the game’s evocative visuals and spine-tingling atmosphere.
